ANALYSIS OF BEZOAR CASES WHICH CAUSED OF ACUTE MECHANICAL INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the cases of intesitinal obstruction due to bezoars. The patients’ files who had been operated for intestinal obstruction between March 2004 and March 2010 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients’ records who detected of bezoar as the etiologic factor were reviewed. Two hundred and seventyeight cases that had been operated for intestinal obstruction were inspected. Adhesions were the most common etiology with 121 cases (44%). 24 cases which bezoars were detected as the etiology of obstruction has been included in the study. 19 patients (79%) had abdominal operations history. 13 patients (68%) into this 19 patients had been operated due to peptic ulcus before average 12 (9-25) years ago. Bezoars leading to obstruction were located in terminal ileum in 19 (79%) cases, jejunum in 5 (21%) cases. Bezoars were teared into pieces mechanically and moved forward to the caecum in 16 (67%) cases and removed by enterotomy in 8 (33%) cases. In conclusion; the probability of bezoar formation should be considered in case of intestinal obstruction, although it is a very rare condition. Especially, in patient with intestinal obstruction who had been abdominal operations due to peptic ulcer, history must be questioned carefully. Preoperative orally contrasted abdominal computerized tomography can be helpful to make a diagnosis of bezoar formation in order not to lose time by conservative therapy instead of operation.
